"Why did you do that?" I asked as I entered the classroom and set my books on his desk.
"What did I do?" he replied, not looking up.
"I waved at you, and you ignored me. And now you're asking what you did?" I explained, wondering if he had forgotten.
"What happened between us last night was a moment of weakness. I don't want to be seen with you. I'm sorry if I led you on." He spoke quickly, gathered his books, and left, leaving me standing there alone.
I stood frozen, unable to move, my mind blank. I blinked as tears traced down my cheeks-the same cheeks he had held in his palms when he said he loved me.
"Where did that 'love' go?" I whispered to myself.

Harvey
When I slammed my locker shut and turned to see Toby standing there, watching me, I jumped in fright and dropped my bag. Talk about speaking of the devil. I picked it up quickly before he could and said a rushed "hi" before turning to leave. But Toby pulled me back to him making my flustered countenance change and I was suddenly defensive. I pulled away and made a face. "Do you need something or something?" I questioned him. "Relax," he said. "Are you in a hurry?". He sounded so sweet. And why was he looking down at me so innocently? "I'm not", I said with a shake of the head. He seemed very polite so I instantly felt bad for being rude. "What's up?". "You're Harvey, right? Harvey Celestine?". I nodded. "You're Maria's friend". "To the point, Meyers". I was quickly becoming bored. Toby looked surprised for a moment, although I didn't know why. But then, he smiled a little. "You left your geography note and textbook in class and that wouldn't do considering the fact that we have a geography test tomorrow". I immediately switched up and started thanking him profusely. All my sticky notes and reminders were in there. He smiled and waved it off before turning to leave. When I got home, Maria gave me a phone call, squealing like a child. "Toby invited me to his birthday party this Saturday!". I pulled the phone away from my ears to protect myself from the extra scream that came after that. "He said you could come too". "No thanks, I've got to study". "Tests are ending tomorrow". "Uh college..". "...isn't until the end of the year? Dude, why are you being so ....not fun?". "Dude," I said, getting up to pace. "I just don't want to come". "Why?". "I don't know". "Dude, why?". "I said I don't.....". Immediately, I was interrupted by a stone flying through my window and into my room. I instantly screamed.Complete
Terrifyingly True
"When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew." he whispered softly. I bit back a smile and huffed. "Well technically I didn't know. I just smiled to be nice." He rolled his eyes and smirked. "Always have to ruin my moments, don't you Little Nali'?" It was my turn to roll my eyes, "Stop calling me little, you're only a year older." I crossed my arms over my chest and tried to straighten up a bit. He chuckled, putting his finger to my forehead and pushing me down. "Calm down tiger, " he put his hand on my waist and pulled me towards him, "you'll always be my little Nali', forever and always." I looked up into his eyes, my arms still across my chest, i finally let my guard down. I lifted my right hand, making a fist and sticking out my pinky finger. "Pinky Promise?" I whispered. He lifted his hand and did the same, wrapping his pinky with mine. "I pinky promise Analilia." I shivered, not to sound like a pervert, but I love when he says my name. I smiled, because it was terrifyingly true. I had fallen in love, and he smiled, because he knew.Complete

How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper.

No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering.
